A Genetic Model to Study the Contribution of Brown and Brite Adipocytes to Metabolism

Summary: UCP1-dependent thermogenesis is studied to define new strategies to ameliorate obesity and type 2 diabetes; however, animal models are mostly limited to germline mutations of UCP1, which can effect adaptive changes in UCP1-independent pathways. We develop an inducible mouse model for the se...
